Junk is not sent to Junk folder

I have been training Thunderbird to recognize spam/junk for more than a
month. It finds about 1/3 to 1/2. In one of my email accounts,
Thunderbird puts the junk it finds and labels as such into the junk
folder. In my second account, which I have set up with the same junk
controls, the emails that are labeled junk are not sent to the junk
folder. I move them manually, hoping Thunderbird will catch on, but it
doesn't. Anything I can do?

Thanks.

For the account that is not working, on the "Adaptive Filter" tab make
sure that "enable junk mail detection" is checked.

Thanks for the suggestion. Enable junk mail detection was and is
enabled. The account does detect some junk mail, it just fails to put it
in the junk folder.

Hi Eva,

Have you checked in Tools, Junk Mail Controls to see if the account in
question has the "Handling" section directing to the proper location and
that "Move incoming messages...." is checked?

Yes, that's correctly checked.

Ensure that the folder to which you want the Junk messages to be moved
to is correctly set

The setup on my laptop works that way. Does recognize the junk, doesn't
move it. Everything is configured correctly, it just doesn't move until
I tell it manually to move... Strange.

Where are your Junk folder located exactly?

I notice that my junk mail controls move junk mail to the junk mail
folder in all but my webmail account. Is it possible that the offending
mail account is a webmail account?

The offending mail account is not a webmail account.
The junk folder to which the junk should be going is in the same
account. I checked tools/junk mail controls and it set to go to that
account. The list of folders in that account is: inbox, drafts,
templates, sent, junk, trash.

Goto Tools -> Junk Mail Controls and make sure you have selected the
correct account in "Configure Junk Settings for:". I got this problem
once, it was cause I had enabled that option for only one account and
not for others.

Thanks for the reminder, but I have enabled the options for my 3 accounts.

That position of the Junk folder is fine.
JMC should work, provided that you controls are all set:
- adaptive filter enabled for the account in question,
- a move instruction for messages not passing the good/bad probability test.
(Assuming you gave JMC the proper training, assigning messages arriving
in the Inbox as either Junk or non-Junk, building and maintaining a
so-called 'training.dat' file in your active profile.)

Have you enabled the logging of the junk detection for the account?
